Defining and accrediting core competencies in higher education: perspectives and proposals from a pan-European research project
No full textPicturing academic learning: salutogenic and health promoting perspectives on drawings
No full textMore than 20 years ago an article about the use of drawings in higher education appeared in a medical journal. After that, other papers explored the possible contribution of drawings in adult education, while only very few in the field of health promotion and education. This article aims to introduce the use of drawing in this field using the salutogenic lens to think, plan and reflect on academic learning. Reflections on what salutogenesis is and what we can consider a clear application of salutogenic principles to the learning process answer a hypothetical question for the reader concerning the relationship between drawings and health promotion theories. They appear as communication tools capable of exploring meaning-making processes, capturing data that is flexible to dynamic systems, power relations, as well as emotional and latent aspects of human experience. This article proposes a connection between salutogenesis and drawings through: a theoretical framework on salutogenic learning and drawings; a teacher practice and its tools focusing the critical point on visual data analysis in a learning environment; a learner case example for knowledge and capacity building through the drawing process; and a health promotion competency-based analysis. Our case example illustrates how drawings were introduced in a post-graduate course in Health Promotion and Education and argues their strengths and weaknesses
Digital Resilience: meanings, epistemologies and methodologies for life-long learning
No full textResilience describes the process of creating a positive development in lifelong learning, starting from normal conditions or by considering how to overcome adversities and stressful situations. During the last decades, this construct has been contextualized in different settings and disciplines and only lately, it has been introduced into the digital field. Research and theories on resilience nowadays are numerous and differ from each other according to the paradigm they are related to, to their assumptions, aims and methodological suggestions. This paper presents a review on digital resilience, using the Matrix method for collecting and analyzing data, in order to describe a clearer definition and application of Digital resilience. Results define digital resilience as a way of coping with the digital challenges (MOOCs, Open Access Publishing, risk), or resilience as the final aim of a project by implementing digital methods (digital storytelling, social networks etc.)
SALUTOGENIC EATING: COME INDIVIDUARE LE BUONE PRATICHE E IL PROFILO DELL'HEALTHY EATER ATTRAVERSO LE NARRAZIONI DELLE PERSONE
No full textIntroduzione. Fare promozione della salute significa spostare l’attenzione da ciò che
produce rischio o malattia alla conoscenza ed all’azione su ciò che produce salute.
Il mondo della ricerca sempre più mette a disposizione della sanità pubblica conoscenze
su questo versante. In particolare il tema dell’alimentazione e nutrizione si offre come un
ambito di ricerca e intervento in cui è urgente sperimentare approcci conoscitivi capaci di
mettere a disposizione della sanità pubblica conoscenze relative ai fattori salutogenetici
legati ai comportamenti alimentari in una prospettiva del life course. A questo interesse si
aggiunge quello di individuare e sperimentare buone pratiche coerenti con la produzione
della conoscenza da un punto di vista salutogenico e quindi metodi e modelli di ricerca in
grado di far emergere gli oggetti fondamentali di un tale approccio: le risorse e gli asset che
le persone usano per compiere e mantenere stili di vita salutari. Un altro aspetto centrale nel
campo dell’alimentazione è quello dell’integrazione europea dove è in atto un percorso
articolato che riguarda sia il versante della sicurezza ma anche quello delle ricadute dei
comportamenti alimentari sulla salute. Il progetto salutogenic eating nasce all’interno del
network European Training Consortium for Public Health and Health Promotion (ETCPHHP)
al quale aderiscono sette Università e due Istituti nazionali di sanità pubblica.
L’Università di Perugia aderisce al network dal 2005.
Obiettivi.
– Elaborare e sperimentare un protocollo di ricerca basato su un approccio qualitativo
utilizzabile anche in contesti nazionali differenti;
– definire il profilo del salutogenic eater individuando i punti comuni nei diversi contesti;
– definire gli elementi per la ricaduta della ricerca in programmi sostenibili di intervento
comunitario.
Materiali e metodi.
– Costituzione del gruppo di ricerca europeo;
– revisione bibliografica;
– riunioni periodiche e gruppi Skype.
Risultati. Modello di Intervista biografica orientata a far emergere: strategie di coping
positivo, capacità di riconoscimento e uso delle risorse e degli asset disponibili, prospettive
di lifecourse. Tool BOX del “ricercatore salutogenico” articolato in: Panoramica dei
concetti base della salutogenesi nella ricerca qualitativa, Glossario della ricerca qualitativa,

Trasferimento delle conoscenze: la traduzione dei dati nella ricerca qualitativa in un
progetto multicountry.
Conclusioni. Molti Paesi europei condividono gli esiti di un approccio problematico
delle persone alla propria alimentazione e vi è un’opinione condivisa, basata su evidenze
scientifiche che una strategia promozionale a livello comunitario sia un’arma vincente. Il
progetto Salutogenic Eating propone un approccio, alla conoscenza dei fattori positivi e
degli asset che guidano le scelte alimentari, coerente con i principi della promozione della
salute. Valore aggiunto del progetto è la valorizzazione della dimensione europea nella
metodologia di ricerca, nella condivisione degli strumenti di rilevazione e
nell’individuazione delle buone pratiche per la promozione di uno stile alimentare
salutogenico

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
